Wow Brandi, shock over breakfast there! Hope you're ok and hope Wednesday goes ok! Have you spoke to DH about it? Me thinks he's going to have to go for a count test!

Milos :hugs: I cant start to imagine what you are going through. I hope your DH reads the letter and acts upon it, not just ignore it. trust is a major thing in a relationship and if it is gone then you will both have to work extrememly hard to get it back, relationship counselling may be an idea, but you will both need to want to be there for it to work. Please dont keep pushing it under the carpet waiting for Ava to get older and things settle down, because you'll never find the right time, address it while its raw emotion hun :hugs:

My heyfever is on one today, and every time I sneeze it startles George awake, oops! I woke up feeling productive today, I put my qualifications on hold over a year ago, with every intent on taking just 3 months off while I sorted some problems out, and never got round to starting again. Spoke to my tutor this morning, they are going to get everything sorted for me to start again in the next 10 days, they just need to check if any legislation has changed since I started and if I need to improve any of my early assignments or add anything before i start on the next one. I really didnt think they'd let me start from where I left off because I left it so long so Im really pleased as Im over half way :)
 
Were good thanks, Sam is probably cross with me as I made him settle himself down to sleep and he likes to have a cuddle then be put down, but its got to the point that everytime I put him down he wakes up. I'm happy to cuddle him to sleep, but I cant just sit and be a bed for him all day. :p He winged abit, then gave me some screeches and then gave in. :D And I have cleaned the whole flat, except hoovering and done the ironing, so very productive!! xx
 
yay well done Sam! OH has been making me put George down to rest because he loves sleeping on me, but then is wide awake the minute I move him. Ive been doing it 3-4 days and this morning was the first time he went in his basket awake, no moaning, straight to sleep :happydance: persevere hun because it is best for you both :hugs: I managed to get a years worth of ironing done and finished yesterday lol
 
someone said to wait a minimum of 20 minutes (or longer) before trying to move them, that way they get enough time to fall in a deep sleep. though that doesnt always work :dohh:


i've known for a while that counseling is something we should do. i'm just scared that it's gotten to the point of never thinking i'll ever be able to trust him again. plus all this anger has really gotten to my head. i love him to death, i love him as the father of my children. i just keep asking if i'm IN-love with him still :? plus, i'm not sure if our insurance would cover it. and we have NO money what so ever to pay a therapist.
 
He won't do it in his crib yet, but he has now done it 2/3 times on his favourite spot on the sofa, but we need to stick with it and he will learn. :thumbup: The last few days I have been able to leave him on his mat/bouncy chair/sofa for a few minutes while I do jobs, which is a huge improvement on before when he screamed straight away, so he is getting much better. :happydance: xx
 
George has mastered moving on the sofa so can not be left so I darent let him sleep on his pillow there no more increase I need to leave the room and he wakes. Little monkey wriggles round and round until his feet are on the back of the sofa then he kicks and pushes! He hated his basket, refused to sleep in there, but he is getting better. Doesnt usually sleep as long as he would on his pillow but hopefully it'll get better with time. Now he is giving me a tired moan I really should put him upstairs in bed to settle for his naps, I bet he'd sleep longer there.
 
that's good!
ava usually just wants to be on someone. sometimes she can last in her bouncer. milo never used his crib much either. he straightaway prefered co-sleeping.
 
See thats our problem in the night, in our bed he will do 11-4.30 which I love, in his crib he will do 11-2 on a good night. :( I want him to be in his crib, but at the same time we both need sleep.... He doesn't like the crib as he is very arm wavy, and he bangs them on the side, but there is no room in our room for his cot, and I know he needs to be in with us longer?! :wacko: xx
 
that's what wakes Ava most times. she startles easily. even if its just the presence of someone coming into the room. so she flails her arms and sometimes wakes herself.

it's 5:30 am ladies. i need to get to bed. milo went down for his NAP about an hour ago :dohh: his sleeping is all over the place. though i've read that could be due to autism. i'm getting anxious for his evaluation wednesday (and Ava has a dr's appt that day).
 
oh hun go sleep :hugs: Wednesday will go fine hun, it'll help get you and Milos all the support you need!

George prefers to co-sleep too :dohh: He does sleep ok in his hammock, but prefers being in with me lol if he wakes in the night for a feed then he generally stays in with me, if he skips his feed he stays in his bed until that 5/6am feed then he stays in with me from then lol

He isnt too small to be in his own room if thats what you want to try though hun just leave the monitors on and have one in your room. My friend has had her baby in his own room since day 3!!! Although think I would personally choose co-sleeping for now if I was faced with the same decision, Im way more soft with George than i was with Joshua lol - probably making myself problems for the furture though lol
 
Sam always stays in after a feed, but now its starting to be all night. :p I don't really want him to go in his own room yet, although he would be no further away than he is now really. :rofl: I am happy cosleeping, I'm just not sure its for the best in the long run?! xx
 
My HV advocates co-sleeping so cant be that bad??? Thats my excuse anyways :rofl:
 
Bethany will sleep anywhere, on us, in her moses basket, on her playmat, in her rocker, in our bed... everywhere :rofl: She loves her sleep, she sleeps best on us though, she snuggles right up and looks so content :cloud9:

How on earth did I end up with such a relaxed baby after such a stressful pregnancy?

I'm planning on having Bethany in our room for at least 6 months, if we are still living here then she will probably be in our til she in a bit older, I want her properly sleeping through if she is sharing with Dylan, if we have moved by then we will move her at about 6 months.
 
Homemade carrot soup + buttered bread = happy Sasha. It was sooooooo good!
 
Oh Brandi :hugs: has it sunk in yet? I firmly believe everything happens for a reason hun, and you were just not meant to have that sterilisation, this is just a sure fire way of making sure of it!

Ive had such a productive day today, I impress myself sometimes :rofl: I missed ALL day time TV today lol (JK was pants - i hate good news stories lol, and Phil doesnt work on This Morning on Fridays, so wasnt missing much lol)

george is a totally chilled out baby, lol but despite my pregnancy being very painful etc he was always chilled out on the monitors and very unreactive lol
